BIKERS from across Limpopo and beyond gathered in Polokwane early on Sunday morning, with the roar of about 100 motorcycle engines marking the start of the 10th annual Ubuntu Run to Die Boskrip outside Mookgophong.

The annual event celebrates unity within the biker community. "Ubuntu is about unity," said Limpopo Biker Council chairperson Ronald Leach.

"It means 'I am because you are'. Our vision is that we are all one family, regardless of what kind of motorcycle you ride, whether you are a man or a woman, the colour of your skin or where you come from. Today is about unity and showing that bikers are a close-knit family."
